Declaring that his conservative state had knocked California off it's perch as the nation's business leader, Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Monday bragged that the Golden State
is no "looking at our backside."
A year after his presidential bid ended in failure, Perry returned to the West Coast Friday
for visits to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Los Angeles in an attempt to lure businesses to Texas following a state-wide ad campaign last week.
It's part of a push by low-tax states to entice California millionaires hurt by recent tax hikes
that have left California's wealthiest to stomach the highest income tax rate in the nation.
In a wide-ranging one-on-one interview with this newspaper,
the Republican politician fired return shots at California Gov. Jerry Brown,
said Austin, Texas is poised to become the "next Silicon Valley"
and characterized California as a great state that has lost it's way.
"Sometime in the past, California became uncompetitive with other states
because of their tax (and) regulatory policies in particular," said Perry,
wearing a red tie, dress shirt, slacks and sneakers
in a downtown San Francisco hotel room.
"There is somebody that wants to knock you off your perch,
That's what's happened to California."
